Abstract

The binding energy spectrum and electron momentum profiles of the inner orbitals of methyl iodide have been measured using an electron momentum spectrometer at the impact energy of 1200 eV plus binding energy. Two peaks in the binding energy spectrum, arising from the spin-orbit splitting, are observed and the corresponding electron momentum profiles are obtained. Relativistic density functional calculations are performed to elucidate the experimental electron momentum profiles of two spin-orbit splitting components, showing agreement with each other except for the intensity in low momentum region. The measured high intensity in the low momentum region can be further explained by the distorted wave calculation.
